I take it that this thread is only a pisstake.I mean Cork were Rebels before Columbus got to America, never mind the American Civil War and all that craic.All to do with Cork's support for Lambert Simnel, one of the pretenders to Henry VIII's throne back in 1487 or thereabouts.

Larry Cork are the Rebels but the confederate flag is certainly not of Cork. I never pass much remarks on it but I suppose in this day and age you shouldn't use it given its connotations today.

True but best to say sweet damn all. The langers have been waving Confederate flags for years but it was always meant to be a bit of craic. I don't know of any Cork person would use the flag to promote white supremacy in any shape or form. Best let the fuss die down and get on with life- it's hard enough as it is without starting controversies about issues we have no control over.

I agree entirely That flag should never be flown but it has been in the past for years and years and very few if any muttered a word. It had the same connotations then as it has now. This is what sickens me about today's PC world. I hated it then and I hate it now despite any recent events. Come on Cork get rid of it.(and I know sometimes easier said than done.)
